Pros

Exceptional team, meaningful work, supportive and caring leadership, lots of great experience to gain clinically. There’s also a diverse client base and diverse opportunities within the agency itself to pursue your interests within the field. The leadership team genuinely tries to support staff as much as possible while navigating funding and grants and whatnot. Clinicians are trusted to provide good services and manage their schedules and have support when challenges arise. Good people from the top down.

Cons

Nonprofit (meaning pay on the lower end) and occasionally challenging cases but still a great place to work and gain experience. Also, this is a training clinic so generally once folks are licensed they need to find a new job.

Pros

Coaches are great to work with. When allowed to complete my work the right way, it was fulfilling.

Cons

Deputy leadership allows unprofessional and aggressive communication and does not take any complaints seriously. Communication from my direct supervisor was unprofessional, and he frequently raised his voice at meetings in an aggressive tone when someone asked for clarification. There was a lack of accountability at the Deputy level, and concerns were dismissed. My Direct Supervisor at one point said that I worked for him and would send me inappropriate emails at random times at night, regarding disrespect that was not true. Deputy leadership did nothing about this; if anything, they encouraged negative performance reviews that violated the CBA union agreement. There are inconsistent expectations and communications. You will be treated like an assistant more than the title and not allowed to complete your task. If you do complete your task, they will say, "Make it yours; however, once you do, they will tell you what they told me: I have been working in athletics xxx years, this won't work, I know what coaches want. Eventually, when you do complete it, you will be told they want you to redo it the way they want. There is no professional judgement allowed, even if you know the job and how processes work.
